    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    I bought it in the other thread about the TMNT "reboot", but other people should also buy this. ETA: I mean I was inspired to buy it in that thread. :) I bought it from Indie Press Revolution.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    I'm still sad that TMNT finally makes a comeback and they're still with Palladium. I guess we can look forward to recycled text and art galore. However... Gun Belt looks amazing.

    RPG Evolution: Please Play With Me?

    I like this. I might add, not so much how to find players, but the patience needed to build a group, especially if you're not running the games it seems most people are looking for. I've been running almost exclusively in online spaces for 25 years. It started as a way to game while home with...

    Kickstarter Spherechild - multidimensional P&P roleplaying game

    Sound very interesting. And you've got the broad strokes of Everway (Though if you got caught up on DriveThru you probably saw the "Silver Anniversay" edition. It's awesome, but doesn't convey how groundbreaking the game was in the mid-90s. I'm not sure it all aged well, but I still remember it...

    Jane Austen/Regency flavor to throw into an adventure?

    Int 8? Not like, 1 or 2, beast numbers? Otherwise awesome. Might replace my Circus' pack of Dire Squirrels.

    D&D 5E (2014) Playing around with my Dogs in the Vineyard-inspired D&D Setting: Plague Dogs

    My first dip into this thread, and I will def need to get better acquainted. Dogs in the Vineyard is one of my all time favorites, and I am very interest in your re-imagining.

    Kickstarter Final 72hrs: Lineages of the Long White Cloud, New Zealand wildlife in 5e

    I know this is a small project, but why so little attention? Thanks for posting this. I'd have missed it otherwise. I'm in, for what it's worth. Not much, since my bank will almost certainly decide to block the payment, as it likes to do to all foreign countries. :p

    Jane Austen/Regency flavor to throw into an adventure?

    Just have to say... Dire Goose... flippin' awesome.

    Kickstarter Spherechild - multidimensional P&P roleplaying game

    Late to the thread.... One of my all time favorite games is Everway, another game of many worlds and those who travel among them. I'm in, regardless, but are you aware of Everway, and how would this compare and contrast, setting-wise? I'm going digital. Will you have a US fulfillment arm to...

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    If Janelle Jaquays doesn't want me to use the term, then I won't. No-brainer.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    First, HOLY Crud! This guy... I keep thinking he can't sink lower. But then he finds lower! Second, I read "my 80 y/o mother" and went "Wow, his mother is OLD!" Then realized my mother is 80. When did we get old?

    Grade the Megaversal/Palladium System

    Go back in time and hold this poll in the early 90s. Past me will give this system top marks. TMNT was my first (caveat, I am old, and my memories for four decades ago are unreliable) Palladuim. I loved the comic, and my High School friend said he didn't want it anymore. I bought it, made about...

    How to deal with a Player that only wants to play evil characters

    I like this. It's not just "Ha! You were bad, now suffer!" It's an opportunity. Need buy-in from the player and probably other players, but could be fun. I recall my first game of Top Secret. We were kids, and we played Murder Hobos. We did not at all get the premise of a spy thing, and we...

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    Wise words for more than just marketing one's game.

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    Sadly Palladium is the reason I won't even consider this project.

    Why is/was Shadowrun more popular than Cyberpunk?

    I think (with nothing but my own opinion to back it up), it's the combination of the cyberpunk attitude and aesthetic combined with the... novelty for want of a better word... of magic and a more fantastic setting. That was certainly it for me back in the 80s when I first discovered these...

    Quick & Memorable NPCs in 1 page

    IDK if this should be a reply or its own thing. But I once wrote down some of my thoughts on NPCs on another site.
